Everybody knows that old Yogi Berra saying, "It ain't over till it's over."  Well, despite the fact that the handwriting has been on the wall for quite some time now, Hillary Clinton has decided to press on and quit the race on her own terms.  Evidently her motto is:  "It's over when I say it's over."
 
There have been many comical moments on the campaign trail over the past year.  The whole Hillary ducking sniper fire in Bosnia tale and its aftermath is certainly near the top of the list.  However, I'd have to say that my favorite moment of all was a couple months ago when Hill suggested that Obama become her running mate.  Oh by the way, this recommendation occurred when she was getting crushed in the delegate count and lending her campaign millions of dollars.  It just doesn't get any better than that. 

A few years ago I read a fantastic book by Evans Ambrose-Pritchard called "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton:  The Unreported Stories."  To say this book was scathing would be a monumental understatement.  Let me put it this way, if only a quarter of what Ambrose-Pritchard said in this book is true, Bill and Hill would be making license plates in prison for the rest of their lives rather than making a mockery of the Democratic Party nomination process. 

Now, you may be thinking that I just don't want a woman in the White House.  This couldn't be further from the truth.  I think it would be great for a woman to be elected President of the United States.  Just not this woman.   The opinions expressed in the preceding paragraphs may not endear me to my four female readers (yes, one more has been confirmed), but so be it.  I just call 'em like I see 'em.

Meanwhile, over on the Republican side of the fence things have been quiet other than three announcements from earlier today:

1) Sir Mixalot has been named as the McCain Campaign/RNC Liaison and will assist with the hiring of all staff in preparation for the September convention.  When asked about Sir Mixalot's credentials, Senator John McCain said, "I have no doubt that he will hire well rounded individuals who will help make the convention in Minneapolis a success."  

2) The comedy stylings of Mike Huckabee will not be on display at the convention in ninety-two days.  According to McCain, assassination humor is not particularly amusing.

3) The senator stated that he will personally introduce his vice-presidential nominee and is working closely with his head speech writer on the remarks that will be made.  McCain told reporters in a late afternoon press briefing that he's already made a couple changes.  Instead of referring to his running mate as shapely and attractive, he will now be calling her curvaceous and bootylicious.
